PS: PRAISE HELIX

Other people are just looking for a friend to hunt Pokémon with. This ad in San Francisco is looking for a Pokémon Go pal at the very specific hour of 1am. No money is mentioned. I might humbly suggest that answering a Craigslist ad from some anonymous person who wants to go play Pokémon Go at 1 o’clock in the morning might not be a smart idea, but you do you.

Of course, some people have been trying to use Uber and Lyft for Pokémon Go-related activities. But this isn’t really suggested. Uber and Lyft are services designed to get you from one place to another without frequent stops in between. Pokémon Go, of course, is all about stopping to play. Hence, these entrepreneurs seizing on what they see as an opportunity.
